FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to rings that hold an optical sight in alignment with a firearm bore.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0002] Current mounting rings for optical sights are reliant on the screws that pull the top and bottom sections together for alignment and stability because they are the only thing holding the top and bottom sections together. Since the screws have relatively minor dimensions to the alignment of the mounting system they will not align the rings well enough to have great shooting accuracy over long distances. Current mounting rings because they have no guidance other than screws will become unsymmetrical as the installer does not apply the exact same number of turns to the screws on each side of the ring. As shock is applied to current mounting rings, they will torque and lose their alignment; their screws will also loosen allowing the optical sight to move also disturbing alignment.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0003] The rings invented in this application are intended to: align their top and bottom sections more perfectly, secure the alignment and prevent movement from all three dimensional angles, and permanently hold the alignment even under great shock. The rings accomplish this by having male and female guiding systems. The male and female parts are aligned vertically and represent each other's shapes and dimensions to prevent any movement other than the vertical movement forced by the top screws connecting the top and bottom parts of the rings. The top half section of the rings representing a half circle has the male extrusions. The bottom half of the ring has the female slots. The locking system consists of a male tooth on the male extrusion and female tooth in the slot. The sides of the slot with the tooth are tilted from the bottom inwards to allow for some extra downward pull as the extrusion with the male tooth is pushed into the female tooth. The male tooth match the female tooth only in the tilted position and the top ridges of the female tooth are set horizontal at zero degrees; this is what allows for the extra pull. To secure the male extrusion tightly inside the slots there are threaded holes on the sides of the bottom part of the rings for screws to push against the male extrusion.
